anybody get anything fun?
lots of retail priced guns.
lots of jewelery/sunglasses.
actually had more than normal number of gun tables in the back room.
saw not one, not two, not three, but FOUR 10 gauge shottys... 3 doubles and a mag fed bolt action. Very heavy/cool.
got a couple old school dust goggles that fit over my glasses for $1 ea, and a mini-pelican light with mount/lens kit for $4
and coffee... for $1.50...

Only shows I really go to anymore are the AGCCC (this weekend) and the Tulsa show. I do hit up a random conway everyonce in a while. All I picked up today at the show was a LPK for the wife unit. Can't say I got it at a steal but I got it minus shipping which is always a bonus.

I bought 500 rounds of CCI Mini mag HP. I don't actually need them, but, I remember the recent drought and the vendor was a good fella, so.....
I also picked up 1000 once fired USGI 308 cartridge cases. Again, I don't actually need them, but I see a drought coming so....
I was looking for 35ACP brass, but I didn't see any.
My uncle bought a sweet Winchester Model 1873 lever gun that was in phenomenal condition. Just guessing that it was made in 1890s. Chambered in 32 WCF. The bore was a little dark, but no pitting, strong lands and grooves, and I think that it will shine up with a good cleaning. A very smooth action and the trigger was pretty good.
